Re: 4000K versus 4500K beamshots?

I don't have two lights close enough in output and beam to do a comparison, my 4500k lights are a little under driven, so look warmer (and greener) than they probably should, and my only 4000k light is heavily overdriven, which makes it look a bit peachy. I think if you went from 3700 to 5000 you will definitly notice the difference, but 4000 to 4500... not so sure.

mossyoak --> Dear God man, its your honeymoon, screw the flashlights, bring one or two and some backup batteries, and fill up all that extra room you have with condoms and alcohol.

So 4000 and 4500k are both going to be a very nice white. Neither will look warm at all. 4500k might look a touch closer to pure white as compared to 4000k but they are so close.

thanks guys! I appreciate the responses.

I know illuminationsupply has 4000K emitters for sale which I've heard are beautiful, so I think I'll get those installed in my Big Bruiser when I order it.
